All trees and native wildflowers are planted in local Hopewell Valley preserves, under the supervision of FoHVOS Stewardship Director Michael Van Clef, Ph.D.

There was a time when trees grew naturally to make forests! Currently, deer overpopulation virtually stops this from happening, and fields turn into dense tangles of invasive shrubs that deer don’t eat. Help restore forests in your honoree’s name and participate in our Community Conservation program to replant tree seedlings and wildflowers within a deer exclosure fence to jump-start nature’s own healing process. You have the option of volunteering on the planting days. Preserve Hopewell Valley for future generations!

Your gift is truly special.

Our gift offering is one of a kind.
Preserving land, protecting natural resources and inspiring a new generation of conservation is our mission. Since FoHVOS is a 501c(3) nonprofit, the tribute gift is a charitable donation with the exception of the fair market value* of the tribute card package. We assemble and print our gift packages locally and create a beautiful framed card that is perfect to display. We hand write your personal message on an embossed note card and place it in its own kraft paper envelope, with a special embossed seal. You’ll love the finishing touch of the elegant tree of life charm. Pick up your package in our Titusville office at the Strawberry mansion atop Baldpate mountain or we can mail everything to your recipient. All materials are recycled. We usually process and ship orders within 2 business days.

CARD FEATURES

The Card:
Our elegant cards feature a beautiful photo of a local Hopewell Valley meadow and the tribute includes the Honoree name, Donor name, the native wildflowers or trees specified, and local preserve. Printed on recycled paper stock.

The Frame:
All Tribute Cards come in a beautiful, embossed charcoal-colored recycled cardboard frame that your recipient will be proud to display.

Personalizing your gift makes it even more meaningful. This customized note in combination with the Tribute Card will ensure the planting donation is a truly cherished gift.

All cards are mailed in rigid 100% recycled mailers, so they always arrive in perfect condition. If you prefer, pick up the gift package at our Titusville mansion on Baldpate mountain.
